Merlin (Tim Robbins), Jester (Michael Ironside), Slider (Rick Rossovich) and Sundown's (Clarence Gilyard Jr.) flight suit patches from Tony Scott's action drama Top Gun. Radio intercept officers Sam "Merlin" Willis, Ron "Slider" Kerner and Evan "Sundown" Gough wore their flight suits with ID patches while training at the Naval Air Station Miramar's elite "Top Gun" fighter program under the instruction of their commanding officer, Dick "Jester" Hetherly.

These three flight suit patches feature various shades of cloth stitched with thread embroidery used to create graphic Naval symbols along with the names and call signs of each character. They each feature an embroidered border and are affixed with Velcro on the back.

The patches were salvaged when the original Top Gun jumpsuits were prepped to be used on another film. They are in excellent overall condition with some slight signs of wear around the corners and some separation on the bottom corner of Jester's border.
